Cake Balls and Frugal deals

One day about 2 weeks ago I got all sorts of free stuff in the mail. I know I look like the biggest weirdo, but free stuff is fun. A couple of these coupons were for completely free, full-size items. Can't beat that!

Here is my frugal deal from Smith's. I'm always a little bummed that they took Albertsons away because I got the best deals there. Add insult to injury, Utah doesn't do double coupons like every other state. Smith's had a promo for 3 days a couple weeks ago where they would round any coupon that was below a dollar up to $1. So .25 coupons became $1 coupons. It was so exciting I could hardly stand it. I was seriously giddy. I know, I know, you're all holding up a big "L" with your fingers and pretending to put it over my forehead. Joke all you want because here is what I got for just $13...

My awesome friend Barb was having a bake sale for Autism awareness. One of her darling boys has autism and she is a great example to me with how hard she works for a cause. We need more people in this world like Barb. Her son, Isaac, cracks me up. One day at Barb's he looked at my very pregnant belly and asked me if I was full. I really was very full :). Although I know sometimes Barb would like to hide her head when Isaac is a little overly honest, I think it's a character a few more of us could use. Anyway, here are some cute cake balls I made for her bake sale. I was going for the "these look like chocolates look but they are really cake" look. And they were YUMMY! I can't wait to make some more cake balls! They were a little time consuming so I need a good reason to make them!

I can't do things oraganized. I just can't. I swear I have tried, but I apparently need creative chaos to accomplish anything. So there was a big mess after the cake balls and I turned it into some art....ok, art by my standards. I don't consider myself artistic in any way, trust me!
